Abstract
This application provides a communication method, apparatus, and system, which may be used to position a terminal device in a handover scenario, so that continuity of a positioning service can be maintained, and a positioning success rate can be improved. The method includes: A communication device sends a first message to a location management function network element after determining that a terminal device is handed over to a target cell, where the first message includes identifier information of the target cell, so that the location management function network element receives the first message.
Claims20
A communication method comprising:
- determining, by a location management function (LMF) network element, periodicity information of an sounding reference signal (SRS), wherein the periodicity information indicates a periodicity of the SRS, the periodicity of the SRS is a periodicity of sending the SRS by a terminal device;
- and
- sending, by the LMF network element, the periodicity information to a serving access network device.
A communication method comprising:
- receiving, by a serving access network device from a location management function (LMF) network element, periodicity information of an sounding reference signal (SRS), wherein the periodicity information indicates a periodicity of the SRS, the periodicity of the SRS is a periodicity of sending the SRS by a terminal device;
- and
- configuring, by the serving access network device the SRS for the terminal device.
A communication apparatus comprising at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is coupled to at least one memory storing programming instructions executable by the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- determining periodicity information of an sounding reference signal (SRS) where the periodicity information indicates a periodicity of the SRS, wherein the periodicity information indicates a periodicity of the SRS, the periodicity of the SRS is a periodicity of sending the SRS by a terminal device;
- and
- sending the periodicity information to a serving access network device.
A communication apparatus comprising at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is coupled to at least one memory storing programming instructions executable by the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
